Autumn Dog Treats -Pumpkin Peanut Butter Bites

Mmmm, the smells of Autumn baking away in your oven just smells heavenly and our pumpkin, peanut butter, and cinnamon dog treats do just that. Besides being a classic favorite of mine, my peep loves how wonderful the kitchen smells after she has finished baking up my Autumn dog treats. The dough is very easy to make and you can freeze it for later.

If you want to make fresh pumpkin puree cook and mash 450 g (1 lb ) of fresh pumpkin.
